Niche Conservatism Shapes Invasion Patterns of Opuntia Species Despite Interspecific Differences in Expansion Dynamics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates an integrative framework combining ensemble species distribution models, PCA‐env niche quantification, and MESS similarity mapping to assess niche dynamics across four globally invasive Opuntia species. Results reveal predominant niche conservatism (89.6%–98.2% stability) with soil nutrient availability identified as ...

Representativity of CO2 Exchange on Extensive Green Roofs: Scaling From Leaf to Plant, and Plant to Roof Scale

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urban green roofs have potential for local urban climate change mitigation, as they have been demonstrated to uptake carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, most roofs are too small to qualify for area‐integrating direct surface‐atmosphere exchange measurements using the eddy covariance technique (EC), resulting in sparse data on ...

An Improved Method for Extraction and Measurement of the Inorganic Pyrophosphate in Leaves of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) Plants

Plant Production Science, 2001
An improved method for extraction and measurement of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) in the leaves of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, Ananas comosus (pineapple) , Kalanchoë pinnata and K. dotgremontiana is described. Leaf samples were extracted with 5% (w/v) trichloroacetic acid (TCA) dissolved in water.

Potential of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants as biomass for bioenergy and biorefinery

, 2020
Bioenergy crops have been exploited in the past decades as a mean to combat climate change and address energy security issues (IEA, 2014). However, the food vs fuel dilemma of employing energy crops has prompted scientists to search for alternative sustainable biomass options.
